To all wk am it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, ARTH R W. SMITH, citizen of the United States, andresident of the borough of Manhattan, city of New York, in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Type-\Vriting Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to typewriting machines and more particularly totabulating mechanism.

One of the main objects of the invention is to provide denominationaltabulating mechanism operative or effective during a portion only of thetravel of the carriage and column selecting mechanism operative oreffective only at another portion of the travel of the carriage.

- A further object of the invention is to provide key controlledtabulating mechanism including means operating automatically to enablethe key or keys for such mechanism to operate in one instance fordenominational selection and in another instance for column selection.

A still further object of my invention is to provide tabulatorindicating means which are automatically shifted to bring differentindices into use.

Another object of the invention is to provide tabulator mechanism whichis operative at one time as a denominational selector and at anothertime as a column selector and to combine therewith tabulator indicatingmeans which are automatically shifted as the tabulating mechanismisrendered e'fiective for one of said purposes instead of the other.

Another object of my invention is to provide a traveling tabulator stopwhich moves at a different rate of speed from the cartill another objectof my invention is to provide a traveling tabulator stop, and means bywhich the speed of said stop may be varied relatively to that of thecarriage.

A further object of my invention is to provide features of constructionof the character specified which are applicable to existing forms oftypewriting machines and to the tabulating mechanism embodied in suchmachines without modifying, or materially detail bottom plan view withparts in section, the view showing a part of the tabulator mechanism andthe automatically actuated means for shifting the indicator. Fig. 3 is afragmentary plan view of the machine with parts omitted and parts brokenaway. Fig. 4: is a horizontal sectional view of the machine with partsomitted, the section being taken on the line of Fig. l and looking inthe direction of the arrows at said line. Fig. 5 is a detail fragmentarycentral transverse sectional view of one of the sprocket wheels and theadjustable means on which the wheel is mounted and by'which it mayreceive a bodily adjustment. Fig. 6 is a fragmentary detail front viewwith parts in section of the tabulator indicator and the means by whichit is shifted. Figs.

'7. 8 and 9 are detail top plan views of three different sizes ofdriving sprocket wheels for the sprocket chain, which wheels areinterchangeable on the driving shaft. Fig. 10 is a detail centralsectional view of the sprocket wheel shown in Fig. -8 and the means bywhich it is detachably fixed to the driving shaft. Fig. 11 is a detaildiagrammatic view showing the indicator and a modified arrangement ofthe shiftingmeans therefor. Fig. 12 is a face view of the indicatorplate shown removed from its carrier. Fig. 13 is an enlarged detailfragmentary top plan view of the sprocket chain at the point ofconnection therewith of the traveling stop and showing a portion of theguide for the chain.

I have shown my invention in the presentinstance in a No. 11 Remingtonmachine in which the invention may be readily emreference numeral 27.

gular levers 23.

bodied without modifying. or materially modifying the structuralfeatures of that machine as they now exist. It should be understood.however. that the invention may be embodied in various forms oftypewrit-ing machines and that certain features may be employed withoutothers.

The frame ofthe machine comprises a base 1. corner posts 2 and a topplate 3. A carriage -l (conventionally represented) is mounted onanti-friction balls or rollers 5 to travel from side to side of themachine over said top plate. The carriage carries a cylindrical .platen(3 and upwardly and rearwardly striking type bars 7 are adapted tostrike against the front face of the platen.

Rearwardly extending bracket arms 8 are secured by screws 9 to thecarriage and are connected at their rear ends to a column stop bar 10provided with teeth 11 on the upper and lower sides thereof for thereception of column stops 12 in the interdental spaces between saidteeth. Arms 13 are.pivoted at lto the carriage and are connected attheir rear ends to a feed rack 15' which meshes with a feed pinion 16.This pinion is mounted on the forward end of an escapeme'nt wheel shaft17 mounted to turn in a bearing 18 secured to the top plate of themachine. The rear end of the escapement wheel shaft carries anescapement wheel (not shown) with which the usual feed dog cooperates.

A series of tabulato'r keys 19 are provided with key stems 20 whichare'guidcd in upper and lower guide plates 21 and 2; respec tively. Eachkey stem is operatively connected withan angular lever 23. the depending arm 2+ of which is connected to one end of a contractile springwhichhas its upposite end connected to the guide plate Each dependingarm 24 is also connected to a rearwardly extending link 21') which isconnected at its rear end to a tabulating stop device or memberdesignated as a whole by the flach of these tabulating devices "27 is inthe nature of a lever pivoted at 25' intermediate the ends thereof in atabulator frame .29 fixed to the fran'ie of the machine. The upper endof each lever extends toward the front of the machine. as at 30, to forma denominath'mal stop which. when l'n'ojccted forwardly. is adapted tocooperate with one ofthe column stops 12. The denominational stops areprojected through a guide comb 31 which is secured to the t'abulatorframe 2'9. A universal rclc'ase bar 32 is connected at its ends to arms33 which are pivoted at 34 on a pivot rod which also constitutes thepivot for the anrearwardly extending link is connected to each of thedepending arms 33 and extends rcarwardly to a crank arm 36 to which itis pivoted. The crank arms 36 are fixed to and extend down- Wardly froma rock shaft 37 mounted for 'l'earwardly. thereby rocking the shaft.

pivotal movement in the base of the machine.

A crank arm 38 is also fixed to the rock shaft v This shaft is providedat its forward end with a pinion 4S and the rear end of this shaft has abevel pinion 49 fixed thereto. In the normal positions of the parts thepinion 4 8 is arranged beneath the feed rack 15 of the machine and. outof mesh therewith. \Vhen. however. the frame 4; is rocked on its pivotsthe pinion 48 is thrown into mesh with the feed rack and the upwardpressure -on the. feed rack is effective to disengage it from the feedpinion 16 to release the carriage from control of the escapementmechanism. .\t the same time the bevel pinion 49 is thrown into meshwith a cooperative bevel pinion 50. The pinion 50 is secured to theupper end of a shaft which turns the casing 51 and which is provided atits lower end with arms or blades which rotate within a fixed casing 52secured to the top plate of the machine. Suitable material such as shot.for example. may be contained within the casing 52 so that the partsconstitute a retarding device which is thrown into operation when thecarriage is released from its esca 'iement mechanism and is moved fromright to left under the power applied there to by the usual spring drum53. This drum is connected to the carriage by means of a band 54connected at one end to the drum and at its opposite end to an arm 55fixed to the carriage.

It will be understood from the foregoing description that an actuationof the tabulator kc) l!) is effective to actuate the correspondingangular lever 23 t transmit move-, ment to the stop lever 27 which isconnected therewith. thus moving the corresponding denominational stop30 into the path of the column stops on the carriage. .\t the same timethe universal release bar 3; is moved 3? and transmitting a forwardrocking movement to the arm 39. which movement is effective to rock theframe 42. thus releasing the carriz'tge and throwing the car iagerctardcr into operation.

The parts thusfar described are the same as those embodied in the .\'o.11 Remington machine except that in some instanccs the parts of thecarriage construction have been conventionally represented. .\lorco\'er.the shape of the arm hasbecn slightly changed in order to acconnnmlatcitscl f to other parts ond away fronr the plate.

which have been introduced into'the machine. as will be hereinafter morefully explained.

A supporting plate 56 is fixed to the frame of the machine by supportingscrews 57. These supporting screws are those usually employed in themachine for holding the key lever returning springs in place except thatthey are slightly modified to act as fastening devices for thesupporting plate 56. Zach of the supporting screws 57 is threaded at itsupper end where it is received in a tapped opening in a cross bar whichforms part of the base of the machine. Zach screw is formed with ahexagonal or octagonal portion 5!) by which the screw may be threadedinto the tapped opening in the cross bar. A spacing sleeve (30 surroundsthe screw below the part 59 and against which the sleeve bears. Theplate 56 has an opening through which the reduced threaded end 61 of thescrew 57 extends. a nut (32 cooperating with the thread ed end (31 tosecure the plate 56 in place. There are two of these screws 57. one ateach side of the machine. and in addition to the usual .functionsperformed thereby they constitute means by which the supporting plate 56is fixedly held in place. This supporting plate so constitutes a hearingor supporting member on which various parts of what may be termed theauxiliary tabulat-ing mechanism and the automatically actuated means forcontrolling the tabulator indicator are mounted. Thus. for example. theplate is tapped to receive a shouldered pivot screw 63 (Fig. i) whichconstitutes a pivot for a band or sprocket wheel (34. This wheel has ahub til which bears against the plate 56 and maintains the body portionof the wheel preferably spaced An endless band, which in the presentinstance is'in the nature of a sprocket chain 65. surrounds thissprocket wheel and also surrounds a secband or sprocket wheel 66.' Thewheel (36 is mounted to turn on a pivot bearing (37 which is in thenature of an eccentric provided with a flange (38 (see Fig. 5) whichoverlaps the wheel 6 at the lower side thereof to hold the wheel 66 inplace with the hub (39 thereof bearing against the supporting plate St).A screw it) extends through an eccentrically arranged opening in thebearing member or eccentric GT and is received in a tapped opening i'n-the supporting plate 56. The head Tl of the screw is provided with acrank arm or linger piece 7; by which the screw may be turned to securethe eccentric in the rotative position to which it may be adjusted. Itshould be understood that the thickness of the eccentric 67 is such thatwhen the head 71 is screwed up tight against it the screw will securethe eccentric against rotative movement but that the wheel (36 will beadapted to rotate freely on the eccentric. By this construction theeccentric tn' may he rotatively adjllsted'to any desired position on thescrew To and secured by the screw in the rotative position to which ithas been adjusted. Means are thus provided by which the wheel (it may beshifted bodily toward and away from the wheel (i-t in order to providemore or less slack in the sprocket chain ($5. as will hereinafter moreclearly appear. The endless flexible band or sprocket chain also mesheswith a driving sprocket wheel 73 which is detachably fixed to a drivingshaft Tl by means which are clearly shownin Figs. 8 and 10. From thesefigures itwill. be observed that the upper face of the sprocket wheel 73is provided with a circularly arranged series of radiating depressions75. this portion of the wheel constituting in effect one section of atwo-part clutch member. The other section of this clutch comprises adisk 76. the lower face of which is provided with circularly arrangedradiating teeth 77 which are adapted to be received in the depressionsT5 to effect an interlocking connection between the sprocket wheel 73and the disk it This disk has a hub TS fixedly connected to the drivingshaft by means of a pin T9. The-hub T8 is received in a bearing openingSt) in the supporting plate 56. whereas the upper face of the disk To isadapted to bear against the lower face of the supporting plate .toprevent an upward displacement of the driving shaft 74 and the partscarried thereby. The

lower face of the driving wheel T3 is provided with a hub S1 againstwhich a nut 5'! is adapted to bear to maintain the wheel 71, in suchposition that the teeth T7 will remain seated in the depressions T3. sothat the driving shaft and wheel 73 are fixed to turn together. The out9'. is received on the lower threaded end of the driving shaft and isprovided with laterally projecting pins 83 which constitute a fingerpiece by which the nut may be turned to release the clutch. and

by which the nut when desired may be rc-' moved from the driving shaftto enable either of the wheels T3 or T3" shown in F gs. 7 andrespectively. to be substituted for the wheel T3. The purpose ofsubstituting one of these wheels for another will hereinafter moreclearly appear.

The upper end of the driving shaft Tl extends through a bearing openingin the top plate of the machine and has a gear wheel 84 secured thereto.This gear has a long hub h l tapped to receive set screws 5 which hearat their inner ends against the driving shaft H to lixcdly connect thegear to the shaft. The lower end of this hub bears against the top plateto support the driving shaft and the parts carried thereby in place. Thegear Si meshes with a rack St} which extends longitudinally of thecarriage throughout the length thereof and is fixed by screws (Fig. 3)to the bracket arms 8 which support the column stop bar on the carriage.From an inspection of Fig. 3 it will be observed that the driving gear84 and the driving sprocket 73 are of the same, or substantially thesame;pitch so that with the employment of the sprocket wheel 73 a linearmovement of the chain 65,. c0rresponding to the travel of the carriage,is effected by the movement-of the carriage.

A guide plate, designated as a whole by the reference numeral 87. ispivoted at 88 to the supportingplate 56 and extends at an inclinationfrom its pivot to the driving sprocket, as shown in Fig. 4:, the guidingsurface 89 extending in the general direction of the chain in itsmovement from one sprocket wheel 6.4 to the other sprocket wheel 66 butat a slight inclination to the chain. This guidemember is preferablymade of sheet metal and is formed with a guiding surface 89 whichextends at right angles from the body portion 90 of the guide. The bodyportion of the guide is bifurcated or slotted at 91 where it receives ashouldered thumb screw 92 which is threaded into a tapped opening in theplate 56. The shoulder 93 on the screw is adapted to bear against thebody portion 90 of the guide and bind it against the suppmgting plate 6in order to secure the guid e inany one of several positions to which itmay be adjusted toward and from the a\is ot' the rock shaft 74. suchadjustment of the guide being effected around its pivot 88. From aninspection of Fig. 1 it will be understood that when the guide 8'7 ismaintained in place. the sprocket chain will be guided by the surfaceor'llange 89 and maintained againstmovement away from or out of meshwith the driving sprocket'73. \Vhen. however. the thumb screw 92 isreleased the guide may be moved away from the sprocket wheel. therebyenabling the sprocket chain to be deflected laterally away from thedriving sprocket 73 and out of mesh therewith. lf necessary theeccentric 67 maybe turned to a llord suilicient slack in the chain toenablethis deflection of the chain out of mesh with the driving sprocketto be effected. It will be understood that when the chain is out of meshwith the driving sprocket the. chain'niay be moved longitudinally inorder to efiect an adjustment of a traveling tabulator stop or contactdevice 94 which is car ried by the sprocket chain. The chain beingdisconnected from the driving sprocket in the manner described and alongitudinal movement of the chain being effected. it wil be understoodthat any suitable adjustment of the stop 91 relatively to the carriagemay be ellected. From an inspection of-Fig. 13 it will be understoodthat the tabulator stop 94 is in the nature of a sheet metal plate whichconstitutes a part of one of the links of the endless chain and has anengaging or stop portion 95 and a projection 96 which overlaps a member97 of an adjacent link. hen the parts are in the position shown in Fig.13 the projection 96 will tend to resist a turning action of the stop 94or a flexing of the chain at this point, as will hereinafter moreclearly appear. This stop '94 is adapted to travel through a slot 98'i'novement of the stop 9-1 when the latter is brought into cooperationwith the stop members with which it co-acts. From an inspection of Fig.13 it will be understood that the construction of the stop 94: is suchthat the projection 96 on the stop 9% cooperates with the member 97 ofthe adjacent link of the chain to resist a turning movement of the stopwhen the latter is brought into cooperation with the arresting meanswhich cooperates therewith. The turning movement or iiexion oftheadjacent link is resisted at this time by therear wall of the guide99.

From an inspection of Fig. 3 it will be understood that those portionsof the levers or stop devices 27 which constitute the denominationalstops I50 arearranged at letter space intervals in the usual manner fordenominational selection. The lower end portions of these levers 27,however, are fanned to effect a wider separation thereof, as indicatedin Fig; 4. In the present instance the lower ends of the levers 27 may'be assumed to be separated at, say. four let-- ter space distancesapart. These levers are received at their lower end portions in guideslots 101 in the supporting plate 56. said slots extending fore and aftof the machine to guide the lower ends of the levers 27 in the pivotalmovement of said levers. The, plate 56 thus constitutes resisting meansto prevent a lateral del'lectiol'i ot' the lovers when the tabulatorstop 91' is brought into cooperation therewith. The lower engagingendportions of these levers are adapted to be mo\ ed *arwardly into thepath of the traveling stop 94 and such engaging or a rresting portionsof the levers may be regarded as stops, so that the levers constituteindividually operable key controlled colun'm selecting stops and alsoconstitute dentnninational stops.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that a depressionof any of the tabulator keys 19 is effective to turn the corriage in themanner hereinbefore described.

The pivotal movement of the lever 21' thus elfeeted not only moves thedenominational stop .30. formed as a part thereof. into the path of thecolumn stops 12 on the carriage. but also moves the arresting portion atthe lower end of the lever into the.path of the traveling stop 91. Theconstruction and arrangement of the parts a re slu'htllat the columnstops 1; are grouped at one end portion of. say. one-half of the colunmstop bar so that they are ell'ective for cooperation with thedenomiuational stops at one portion only in the travel of the carriage:whereas the traveling stop H4 is not moved to a position where thecolumn selecting stops are cooperative therewith until the carriage hasreached another portion of its travel. where the denominational stopsare no longer effective to coiiperate with the column stops 12. all aswill hereinafter more clearly appear. It will thus be understood that ata given portion of the travel of the carriage, say. at the first half ofits travel. an actuation of any of the tabulator keys 19 is elfectire totlenominationally select in the various columnar lields determined bythe adinstment of the column stops 12. and that, dllring. say. thesecond half of the travel of the carriage the column stops 1; are movedwith the carriage beyond a position where the denominational stops canco-act therewith.

the geared connections between the carriage and said traveling stop)where an actuation of any of the tabulator ke vs is effective tointerpose the lower end of the associated stop lever 27 in the path ofthe traveling stop SH. thus arresting the carriage through thecooperation of the stop lever and the traveling stop 94 in any one ofseveral columnarfields determined by the particular tabulator key whichhas been actuated.

In order that the operator may at all times know whether the tabulatorkeys are effective for denominational or for column selecting work. Ihave provided a tabulator indicator and automatically actuated means bywhich said indicator may be shifted to bring one or another of twoseries of tabulator indices into view. depending on whether the keys areoperative for denominational selection or for column selection. Thusfrom an inspection of Figs. 1 and 6, it will be observed that the frontplate 102 is provided with an inclined portion 103 slotted transverselyofthe machine. as indicated at 101. to provide an elongated sightopening through which the tabnlator indices on a suitable indicator mavbe displa ved to the view of the operator. A scale or index plate 105,which is shown in detail At this time. however. the traveling stop 91has been brought to a position (by in Fig. 12. comprises in the presentinstance two series 106. 107 of index numerals. either of whichscriesmay he ln'o'ught into register with the sight opening 104. the otherseries at this time being hidden from the operators view beneath thebody portion of the plate 103. The scale plate 105 is received in asheet metal carrier 10$ which is turned over at its top and bottomedges. as indicated at 109. to receive the scale plate 105 anddctachably hold the latter in place. The carrier 109 is supported at itsends on levers 110 pivoted at 111 to the base of the machine andextending downwardly and rearwardly from their pivots. ()ne of theselevers is connected at its rear end to a link 112 which in turn isdetachablv connected at its rear end to a lever 113 of the first order.This lever 113 is pivotally mounted on the supporting platefit' by aheaded shouldered screw pivot 114. the shoulder of which is adapted tobear against a disk 115. Intel-posed between the disk 11.3 and thesupporting plate 56 is a leaf spring 116 which is bent to form aconnecting portion at one end. as-.indicated at 117 in Fig. 4. The screw114 passes through the connecting portion formed at the bent end of thespring and when the screw is tightened the end 117 of the spring issecurely clamped between the disk and the supporting plate. although thelever 113 is loosely mounted to turn on the pivot screw between the headthereof and the disk 115. The free end of the spring 116 is bent to forman engaging portion 118 which, cooperates with the teeth l19-of a wheel1:20 to provide a spring detent for the wheel. as will hereinafter moreelearlv appear. The wheel 120 is mounted on a headed shouldered pivotscrew 121 which is received at its threaded end in a tapped opening inthe supporting plate. headed screw 12:2 projects laterally from thewheel 1:20 and the stem of the screw is received in a slot 123 formed inthe lever 113 at the inner end portion thereof. The wheel 120 is shownin the present instance provided with six teeth and it is normallypositioned, as indicated in Fig. 4. with one. of said teeth in the pathof the traveling stop 94. During the movement of the carriage from rightto left the tabulator stop 9-1 will bemoved in the direction of thearrow in Fig. 4. thereby bringing the stop into engagement with thereal-most tooth of the wheel 120. This effects a turning of the wheel asingle tooth space distance during the movement of the stop past thewheel. This movement of the wheel is effected against the pressure ofthe spring detent 116 andthe turning movement, of the wheel transmitsits movement to the lever 113. thereby shifting the outer end of saidlever toward the frontof the machine. This movement is elfective to turnthe lever 110 to which the link is connected in order It will beunderstood that the indices contained between adjacent dividing lines124 are adapted to register with one of the tabulator keys 19 so as toconstitute an indicator therefor. \Vhen the indices 106, for example,are at the sight opening the indices between each pair of adjacentdividing lines 124 will register with one of the keys. As the parts arearranged in the present instance, and assuming the carriage is at thelimit of its travel to the right, the denominational indices 106 will beexposed at the sight opening and the indices within each space on the.scale will be associated withthe corresponding key which they areintended to designate. Thus the decimal point will be arranged just inthe rear of the first tabulator key to the left, whereas the numeral 1indicating the units, will be in the rear of the second key and so on.When, however, the carriage reaches about midway. in the travel thereofthe column stops will pass beyond a position where the denominationalstops are cooperative therewith and the traveling tabulator stop 94 willbe brought into coiiperation with the wheel 120 to turn it one step, orthe distance between two teeth of the wheel. The effect of this movementis to actuate the lever 113, thereby shifting the indicator to bring theseries of column selecting indices 107 into register with the sightopening and into register with the respective tabulator keys which theindices are intended to designate. as the wheel 120 has been turned inthe manner described, the stop 94 is in a position to co-act with thelower ends of any of the levers 27 which may be projected tooperativeposition. If, for example, the fourth tabulator key from theleftbe actuated, the lower end of the corresponding lever 27 will bemoved into the path of the traveling stop 94 and the carriage will bereleased. As the carriage moves to the left the traveling stop 94 willbe moved to the right until it has been arrested by the fourth lever 27,counting from the left, the stop passing the first three levers 27without, being obstructed in its movement. The carriage will be arrested therefore in the fourth columnar field determined by theactuation of the fourth tabulator key. A release of the depressedtabulator key 'reestablishes operative connection between the carriageand its escapement mechanism, the operator proceeds to write in thefourth column and when this is conpleted a tabulating operation may beeffected to carry the carriage to the proper position to write in thenext selected colum- As soon' portion of the travel of the carriage.

A clearer understanding of the invention and the purposes to be obtainedthereby may he arrived at by considering the operation of the parts inconnectionwith a blank of a specific character to be filled in with theaid of the tabulating mechanism, it being understood that "arious formsof blanks may be employed in connection with the mechanism but that theparts in the present instance are constructed, arranged and adjusted foruse with a blank form such as is indicated,,for example, at A in Fig. 3.

In this'form there are provided six columns in which the manufacturersnumber,- style of the goods, a special number applied to the goods, thequantity thereof, a description of the goods and the date of deliverythereof may be written. These columns are indicated at a, b, c, (1, aand f. The column stops 12 having been adjusted as indicated in Fig. 3to correspond to the positions of the columns where the items are toappear, the stop 94 having been properly adjusted, and the operatorhaving moved the carriage to the right, will proceed at once to writethe manufacturers number as 567 in the first column a. Anactuation ofthe decimal. key, (the same being indicated by the decimal mark on theindi ator) will bring the carriage to a position where the operator mayproceed to write the word French or such other inscription as is toappear, in the second column b. The operator may then depress the tensof thousands key indicated by the index numeral 10,000 opposite thecorresponding key. This enables the operator to write the special number54035 in the third column 0. An operation of the tens key, indicated byits appropriate index mark, is effective to arrest the carriage toenable the operator to write the designation 20 under the heading Dozensin the fourth column d. An actuation of the decimal key will arrest thecarriage in the position to fill in the proper inscription in the fifthcolumn e under the heading Description In the present instance the termunderwear describes the class of goods. After this term has been filledin the operator may depress the decimal key to enable column 7' underDelivery an automatic' actuation of the tabulator indicator will beeffected, and at the time of completing the writing of the date thefirst five column stops 12 will be carried beyond the denomi nationalstops and the traveling stop 9-1 will have passed the wheel 120 and bein a position to coiiperate with any of the levers 27 which may beactuated. so that the parts are 110w in position for column selectingwork. However, I have provided a sixth column stop 12 at the right-handend of a series of column stops 12, and which column stop 12 is in thenature of a safety stop. The purpose of this stop is to insure a properchange of the automatically actuated tabulator indicator so as to beassured that the column selecting indices will be presented to the viewof the operator before the tabulato'r keys can be operated for columnselection. If the date be of an extent such as that indicated in thedrawing, then the automatically operated indicator will be properlyactuated before the completion of the date and the tabulator indicatorwill expose the column selecting indices before the writing of the dateis finished. If. however; the date should occupy less space than thatindicated in the drawings and the operator should complete the datebefore the carriage has arrived at a position to effect an automaticchange in the tabulator indicator. then an operation of any of the firstfour or five tabulator keys would effect an interpositioning of thecorresponding denominational stop in the path of the safety stop 12? toarrest the carriage and prevent its movement to a columnar field g tothe printing point. This insures a change in the indicator beingeffected to present the column selecting indices to the view of theoperator before the mechanism is capable of operation for columnselecting work. If the safety stop 'should be brought into operation inthe manner specified the carriage will still be positioned in the columnf, although the tabulator indicator will be automatically changed toexpose the column selecting indices. The operator may then proceed toselect the desired columns and fill in the requisite numbers, forexample, in thedesired columns under the proper headings. In the presentinstance the blank A contains indications at the heads of the next tencolumns g of the sizes of the articles and corresponding indices areexposed at the sight opening 104. If, for example the order is for fourdozen size 18 then the second tabulator key opposite the index numeral18 will be depressed, ther'ebyarresting the carriage in the secondcolumn 9 where the numeral 1 may be. written. If

22 the order mcludes three dozen s1ze Y v 28 1 three. dozen size 40 andten dozen size &) i ii, the fourth, seventh and ninth tabulator keysfrom the left will be successively actuated and the numerals 3 3 and 1Owill be successively written in the respective columns determined by theactuation of said keys. It will be seen that the order contains tendozen size dozen size 40 three dozen size 34 four dozen size 18 thusmaking a total ,three of twenty dozen as inscribed in the column (l ofthe blank. T heline having been completed the operator returns thecarriage to the right. thereby moving the traveling stop 91- in adirection opposite that indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2, thusautomatically actuating the indicator to expose the denominationalindices instead of'the column selecting indices. The second andsuccessive lines in the blank may be filled in in av like manner.

It will be seen that during, say, the first half of the travel of thecarriage in each line of writing the tabulating mechanism is operativealone for denominational selection by the coiiperation of thedenominational stops 30 with the column stops 12; and that at this timethe denominational indices are exposed at the sight opening 101, whereasduring. say, the second half of the travel of the carriage the tabulatormechanism will be operative for column selection alone and will beinoperative for denominational selection. At this time the tabulatorindices 107 which aid in column selection are exposed at the sightopening 104 adjacent to the tabulator keys 19 which are now operativefor column selection.

Should the character of the blank be such as to necessitate columnselection at tlfe beginning of each line of writing and denominationalselection at the last portion-of the travel of the carriage, this may bebrought This is in order' the left-hand side of the series of stoplevers QT and the link 11:? may be connected with the right-hand arm 110instead otwith the corresponding arm at the left-hand side of themachine. 'lheeti'ect of this change in the.- disposition of the parts isto maintain the lowermost llldiccs 107 at the sight opening 104 duringthe first half of the travel of the carriage instead of at the last halfof the travel of the carriage as in the previously described arrangementof the parts. 'hen the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. 11. theautomatic shifting of the indi cator is not effected until the stop 9ihas passed the series of stop levers 27 during, say. the first half ofthe travel of the carriage. During the first half of the travel of thecarriage the operation of any of the levers 27 is effective to co-actwith the stop 94 to arrest the carriage in the selected columnar fieldas determined by the particular tabulator key which has been actuatedand which keys at this time are in the nature of column selecting keys.It will be understood that in these circun'istances the column stops 12will he situated at the righthand end portion of the column stop barinstead oi at the left-hand endportion thereof so that they will not bebrought into cooperative relation with the denominational stops duringthe first half of the travel of the carriage. But the column stop 1'2will be brought into cooperative relation with a projecteddenominational stop after the stop SH has passed the stop levers '27 andhas auton'iatically effected an actuation of the index scale to bringthe denominational indices 106 into view at the sight opening 104.Moreover. it will be understood that by an adjustment ofthe stop 94relatively to the carriage and by an adjustment of the column stops 12to different positions along the column stop bar, the tabulatormechanism may be arranged to provide for denominational work throughoutthe extent of more or less of the travel of the carriage in each line ofwriting; and, of course. the number of columns in which denominationalworkmay be effected may be varied according to the number of columnstops 12 employed.

I have provided means in the present instance whereby the width of each-column g7 selected by the column selecting mechanism may be varied. Asshown in the present instance. with the use of the sprocket wheel 73.provision is made for writingas many as four characters in each of theseparate columns t f A substitution of the larger sprocket wheel T3,shown in Fig. 7, for the wheel 73. makes provision for writing as manyas three characters in each of the columns g, Whereas a substitution ofthe smaller sprocret wheel 73', shown in Fig. 9, for the wheel 73,provides for writingas many as five characters in each of the columns"g. These wheels, as previously pointed out, maybe substituted one foranother by the means shown in Fig. 10 and the corresponding change inthe width of each of the columns 1/ is provided for.

.\s hereinla-t'ore pointed out, the eccentric GT is eli'ective toafi'ord a bodily adjustment of the sprocket wheel 6 so that more or lessslack may be provided in the sprocket chain (35. as may be required bythe use of the different gears shown in Figs. T 8 and 9. Thus if thewheel T3 be employed instead of the wheel 73 an adjustment of theeccentric (31' will be required to shift the wheel 66 nearer the axis ofthe wheel (H in order to make provision for the employment of the largersprocket wheel 73''. After the eccentric has been rotatively adjusted tothe desired position it may be secured in this position by the screw T0so as to maintain the chainsulliciently taut to assure its propercooperation with the various sprocket wheels.

'In setting the parts according to the par-- ticular blank employed, theblank will be introduced into the machine. as shown in Fig. 3, and thecarriage moved to a position where the tabulator mechanism has linishedits operation as a denominational tabulator and is to begin itsoperation as a column selector. Thus in the present example the carriagewill be moved to a position where the last written character in thecolumn under the heading Delivery. is at the printing point. Thesprocket chain will then be slackened to enable it to be disconnectedfrom the driving wheel 73 or the -::lutch,ma v be released to enable thechain to be moved independently of the carriage. The chain may then be.moved longitudin ally to bring the stop 94 just to the right of thefirst ot' the column stop levers :27, counting from the left in Fig. l.The chain may then be rcengaged with the sprocket wheel 73 and theeccentric positioned to maintain the chain taut, or the clutchreengaged. If desired, an index mark may be employed on the supportingplate 56 to indicate the proper position of adjustment of the stop 94.After this adjustment has been attained in the manner set forth theoperator may proceed to fill in the blanks, it being understood, ofcourse, that the column stops 12 have been previously set according tothe work to be performed through the cooperation of the denominationalstops 30 with said column stops 12. In setting the stop 94. in registerwith the index mark on the plate. 56 in the manner pointed out above, itshould be moved from left to right past the wheel 120 so as to shift thewheel and change the index. It will be understood that the spring detentmaintains the wheel 120 in the rotative position to which it may beshifted around its pivot and is effective therefore to maintain theindicator in either of the two positions to which it may be shiftedrelatively to the sight opening 104:. lVhen the stop 9 L moves from leftto right past the wheel 120, said stop shifts the indicator in onedirection by If, on the other hand, the operator desiresv to employ thedenominational stop mechanism to the exclusion of the column selectingmechanism, then the stop 94 may be adjusted to a position relatively tothe carriage where it will not be brought into cooperative relation withthe levers 27 or with the wheel 120 throughout the entire travel of thecarriage. This may be readily done by moving the carriage to the extremeright, releasing the clutch which connects the driving wheel 73 with thedriving shaft and moving the chain. longitudinally until the stop 94 ispositioned to the right of the series of stop levers 27. The clutch maythen be engaged but the travel of the stop 91L during the travel of thecarriage will be such that it is never brought into cooperative relationwith the stop levers 27 or with the wheel 120.

The tabulator'therefore as a column-selecting mechanism will be thrownout of use but will still be efiective for denominationa selection; Adisconnection of the clutch by which the wheel 73 is connected to thedriving shaft is in itself sufficient to render the mechanisminoperative as a column selector and to throw the automatically actuated-meahs for the indicator out of operation.

It will thus be seen that provision is made for the use of the tabulatormechanism, when desired, as a mere column selector which will afford aselection of any one of eleven columns under the control of-the tentabu-- lator keys 19. These columns will occupy, when the wheel 73, forexample, is in use, a space corresponding to 55 or more letter spacepositions in the travel of the carriage and the parts may bearranged tobegin the columnar selection at any point in fthetravel of the carriage,depending on the relative adjustment between the stop 94 and thecarriage. If, for example, the first of the series of columnar fieldswhich may be selected with the aid of keysis to begin at 20, then thecarriage will be moved to the po-. sition 20 as indicated'by thecarriage scale. The chain will be released from conumns may be selectedat will. During the carriage the second traveling stop 94 will trol ofthe driving sprocket and the stop 94 will be adjusted just to the rightof the left-hand stop lever 27. The chain may then be re-connected withthe driving sprocket and when the first column selecting key isdepressed, the carriage will be arrested to write in the first column,beginning at the point 20 on the carriage scale, it being understood, ofcourse, that at this time the column stops 12 and the safety stop 12have been removed from the machine. Any one of nine succeeding columnsarranged five letter space distances apart may be selected with the aidof the tabulator keys 19,

which at this time operate as column selecting keys.

, If desired, an additional stop corresponding with the stop 94 may beemployed on the driving chain, which last mentionedstop will be broughtinto cooperative relation with the stop levers 27 after the first stop94: has moved beyond or past said levers. By these means columns may beprovided across the entire sheet and any of said colfirst half of thetravel of the carriage the first traveling stop 94, will co-act with anyof the levers 27 which may be actuated and during the second half ofthe. travel of the co-act with said. levers.- In these circumstances thecharacter of the indices on the index plate will be modified so thatboth series of indices will be column designating indices, one series ofwhich will be exposed 100 at the sight opening 101 during the first halfof the travel of the carriage and the second series of which will accordwith the headings of the columns which may be se lected at the secondhalf of thetravel of" the carriage and an automatic actuation of theindicator will bring the second set of indices into view at thesightopening. in the manner hereinbefore described. lVhen the'tabulatingmechanism is to'be 11 used exclusively as a denominational tabulator thestop 94 may be adjusted to a position where it will never come intocontact with the wheel 120, as hereinbefore explained, or the link 112may be disconnected 115 from the tubulator indicator so as to render thelatter inoperative. In either event the tabulator indicator set'fordenominational 111 ofthe indicator to maintain it against accidentaldisplacement ineither of the positions to which it may be shifted.

- It will be understood from the foregoing description that the same keycontrolled devices 27 which are eliective at one period during thetravel of the carriage as denominational stop devices, are effectiveduring another period in the travel of the carriage as column selectingstops; that the same keys which control said devices 27 act in one caseas denominational selecting keys and in the other case as columnselecting keys; that the tabulator indicating mechanism' cooperativewith said keys is automatically changed according to the purposes forwhich the keys are operative or effective, in one instance acting asdenominational selecting keys and in the other instance as columnselecting keys; that the construction is comparatively simple; that themeans by which a column selection as well as a denominational selectionmay be effected and the means by which an automatic shifting of thetubulator. indices is obtained are in the nature of attachments whichmay be readily applied to existing forms of typewriting machines, suchas the No. 11 Remington machine, without modifying, or materiallymodifying, the structural features of said machines as they now exist;that the construction is such that it may be employed for variouscharacters of tabulating work, either as a denominational tabulator oras a column selector or as a column selector at one portion of thetravel of the carriage and a denominational'selector at another portionof the travel of the carriage; that the construction lends itselfreadily to variation and arrangement of the parts in order to enable itto operate 'efl'ectively in connection with various styles oftabulatingwork; that various changes may be made in the construction andarrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of myinvention and that some of the parts may be used without others,depending on the nature of the work to be produced.
